Change theme for single user mahapps metro control

I have built a WPF config-tool with mahapps.metro (version 1.5!) that lets the user configure my other apps. On one of the views I let the user define the styles. To make it more easy to decide which style fits, I created a control that looks like the other apps in miniature. The idea is to set the defined style to this preview.

So, is it possible to change the theme for a single UserControl dynamical? All I have found is the ThemeManager class, but with that I change the theme for the complete app or the complete current window and not only for the one control within my current window:

ThemeManager.ChangeAppStyle(Application.Current, …)

I am open for other (practical) solutions. But it has to be part of same window, to have a dialog or preview popup is no acceptable solution.

ThemeManager.ChangeAppStyle can accept Window as the first parameter. So instead of using UserControl you can make Window and in this window, you can show a new style:

public partial class Window1 : MetroWindow
{
    public Window1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        ThemeManager.ChangeAppStyle(this,
            ThemeManager.GetAccent("Orange"),
            ThemeManager.GetAppTheme("BaseLight"));
    }
}
